HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The nausea and vomiting may be part of your allergic reaction to these agents.
Allergic reactions do not just present with symptoms involving the skin but can also cause abdominal symptoms as well such as nausea and vomiting.
It is possible that the use of medication such as dramamine which is an antihistamine used for vomiting, may help.
I hope this helps
